The instant Xiao Yu heard the Microscopic Civilization’s reply, he froze in place. In Xiao Yu’s mind, one sentence kept echoing, ‘Choosing to join the Rebel Alliance may simply have been a mistake. Choosing to join the Rebel Alliance may simply have been a mistake…’
“Could it be that the Microscopic Civilization actually belongs to the Rebel Alliance’s side?” Xiao Yu muttered to himself. “Could it be that the one using a thod like ti reversal to try to kill is actually the Rebel Alliance? Could it be that the Sweepers and the Guardian are both serving the Rebel Alliance? Could it be that the Guardian of the Way, the invigilator, whom I always believed was causing trouble at every turn, is actually the existence secretly rescuing ? No, impossible. If that were really the case, then the Level 7 barrier could not be explained. In the current universe, after all, the Guardian of the Way is still the orthodoxy, and the Rules of the universe are still under its control. If it were really the benevolent side, then when I was breaking through to Level 7 Civilization, why did I still nearly fail? If the Rebel Alliance is the malicious side, then who is Chen Mo? Which side does Chen Mo belong to? Who is it that has been secretly helping all along?”
Because of this single sentence from the Microscopic Civilization, countless questions arose in Xiao Yu’s mind. The Rebel Alliance, which he had originally thought was always benevolent, had now beco the malicious side according to the Microscopic Civilization? Then what about Chen Mo?
“Could this be the Microscopic Civilization testing ?” In a flash, this thought sprang into Xiao Yu’s mind again. After all, if the Rebel Alliance were malicious, then it would an Xiao Yu had been wrong about many things before, and many contradictions would arise, with many matters becoming impossible to explain. But if the Microscopic Civilization belonged to the Guardian of the Way’s side, and this ti reversal, the disappearance of intelligent life, and all the other events were all the work of the Guardian of the Way, then everything would be easy to explain.
No matter how one looked at it, the Microscopic Civilization seed as though it should belong to the Guardian of the Way’s side, not the Rebel Alliance’s side.
This really might be an extrely clever test by the Microscopic Civilization. After all, although Xiao Yu had already made it clear that he and the Microscopic Civilization belonged to the sa camp, he had never actually spoken the na of that camp aloud, and had only been using psychological suggestion to indicate it. But now, the Microscopic Civilization had directly spoken the na Rebel Alliance. That returned the problem to Xiao Yu’s hands. Since we are in the sa camp, then you should have no reason not to know the camp’s na, right?
If Xiao Yu’s response was even slightly off, the Microscopic Civilization would imdiately expose him.
Xiao Yu’s mind began racing once more. In less than one ten-millionth of a second, millions of thoughts flashed through his mind.
“Should I choose to believe it, or choose not to believe it?” Xiao Yu thought rapidly. This was a difficult choice. Whether he chose to believe it or not, he would be taking a considerable risk.
In the end, Xiao Yu decided to adopt a strategy of blurring the issue, setting it aside for the mont and deciding later whether to believe it based on how things developed afterward. Xiao Yu replied calmly, “Microscopic Civilization, I can forgive you for the occasional deception or offense, but you must understand that my patience is limited. Do not try to do anything foolish again. Now, tell everything you know.”
Xiao Yu only said calmly that he could forgive occasional deception or offense, but he did not make it clear exactly which matter had deceived or offended him. That left a great deal of room for interpretation. Even if the Microscopic Civilization’s claim that it belonged to the Rebel Alliance was a deception, with these words in place, the Microscopic Civilization should not grow too suspicious.
“What do you want to know?” the Microscopic Civilization asked.
Throughout this verbal clash, the hidden struggle between the two sides had not stopped for a mont. At this point, two-thirds of the Microscopic Civilization had already escaped from Xiao Yu’s spatial maze. Only one-third remained trapped inside it. It was estimated that in at most another five hours, the Microscopic Civilization would completely escape. And if the Microscopic Civilization escaped entirely, Xiao Yu had no confidence that this exploration fleet alone would be able to exert enough deterrence on them.
By that ti, if the Microscopic Civilization chose to flee directly, Xiao Yu would likewise have no sufficient confidence in finding them again in the vast universe.
To deal with this possibility, Xiao Yu’s other forces were hurrying here as fast as possible. Of them, the fleet closest to the Solar System would arrive in three days. At this mont, besides extracting as much intelligence as possible, Xiao Yu also needed to do one more thing, stall for ti.
Xiao Yu had never intended to let the Microscopic Civilization go. Xiao Yu had already decided long ago that after obtaining what he wanted, he would wipe out the Microscopic Civilization completely. This Microscopic Civilization had appeared in Xiao Yu’s sight again and again. It had obstructed Xiao Yu’s destruction of the Guardian Civilization once, then obstructed Xiao Yu’s destruction of the Sweepers Civilization again. And now that Xiao Yu knew the Microscopic Civilization might also be connected to certain forces secretly targeting him, there was no way Xiao Yu would still show them such patience.
“First tell , what is the current state of the conflict between the Guardian of the Way’s side and the Rebel Alliance’s side?” Xiao Yu fell silent for a mont, then asked this question.
“The Rebel Alliance holds the advantage.” the Microscopic Civilization replied. “So ti ago, the Rebel Alliance even injured the Guardian of the Way, forcing it into temporary slumber. It was precisely because the Guardian of the Way could no longer use strong ans to guarantee the survival and safety of Level 7 Civilizations that our Microscopic Civilization chose to join the Rebel Alliance.”
This answer was reasonable and also matched so of the intelligence Xiao Yu had previously possessed. Back then, the Taihao Alliance had started becoming active precisely because the Guardian of the Way had fallen into slumber. It was just that because of the necktie given to him by that spatial lifeform, Xiao Yu had always believed that it was the Rebel Alliance under Chen Mo’s leadership that had injured the Guardian of the Way and sent it into slumber. Now, learning that the Rebel Alliance was also malicious toward him made the matter sowhat hard to explain.
“Perhaps… Chen Mo, I too was only one of your chess pieces?” Xiao Yu muttered to himself. “If that really is the case, then the truth is truly heartbreaking.”
Before things beca clear, Xiao Yu did not make any decision about how he should face Chen Mo. Still, a trace of vigilance quietly erged in Xiao Yu’s heart. From this mont onward, Chen Mo too had beco soone Xiao Yu needed to guard against. It was heartbreaking, but Xiao Yu had no choice but to do so.
“How much do you know about ti reversal?” Xiao Yu asked.
“Ti has not reversed, and ti cannot reverse.” the Microscopic Civilization fell silent for a mont, then gave this answer. “Even the Rebel Alliance cannot make the ti of the entire universe reverse. The phenonon that has appeared in the Milky Way and the Androda Galaxy is rely a phenonon. It is not true ti reversal.”
Xiao Yu paused slightly, then suddenly understood.
Xiao Yu now knew what was really going on. It was indeed just as the Microscopic Civilization had said. It was rely a phenonon.
Take an example. A cup is accidentally shattered, but afterward, you see that cup once again appearing intact in its original position. Excluding any other event that can confirm the passage of ti, you might think that ti reversal caused the broken cup to beco whole again. But how can you be sure that it was not simply that soone else recreated an identical cup and placed it back there?
Just like the present Milky Way and Androda Galaxy, they really had returned to the state they were in several million years ago, but ti reversal was not the only path by which they could be returned to the past. If there were so mysterious existence that knew all the conditions of the Milky Way and the Androda Galaxy from several million years ago, then it could completely reconstruct the Milky Way and the Androda Galaxy as they had been millions of years earlier and place them here, creating the illusion that ti had reversed.
If that were the case, then everything could be explained. It had to be understood that in the microscopic world, microscopic particles were actually not very different from one another. All ordinary neutrons have the sa mass and size, and the sa is true for all protons. Recombining large numbers of microscopic particles and recreating the Milky Way and the Androda Galaxy as they had looked several million years ago was not impossible.
This would without question require a trendous amount of energy. In that case, the fact that the mass of the Large Magellanic Cloud had decreased by more than half could be explained. It had simply contributed its mass to remake the Milky Way. The disappearance of intelligent life could also be explained. Life is special. It is not sothing that can be created rely by piling up simple particles. The recombination of microscopic particles could recreate the appearance of the Milky Way from several million years ago, but it could not recreate the intelligent life from that ti.
“But there is still one contradiction here. The Microscopic Civilization’s explanation is highly credible, but if this is not ti reversal and is only the recombination of microscopic particles, then how could that achieve the goal of killing ? From the Microscopic Civilization’s words, it can be seen that the changes in the Milky Way and the Androda Galaxy were without question directed at . Perhaps… the recombination of microscopic particles affects the entire galaxy, and in that process, any matter located in that region would be disassembled and then recombined. If I had remained there, I too would have been disassembled and then died. It is just that… disassembling and recombining an entire galaxy in order to kill really is making too much of a small matter. Perhaps there is still so reason behind this that I do not yet know?” Xiao Yu thought silently.
